My problem is that because of the split custody, I can only do an extended trip during the summer and I'd have to be back on a Wednesday. The Living Social/Groupon deals are restrictive regarding dates. After using Air BnB extensively, I'm thinking it would be a better deal to rent a flat or house with a group.

I saw a groupon recently (or some similar deal) for a week-long Azores trip including flights, from Boston, for $500! If I had the money and time I'd be all over stuff like that... maybe someday. I would love to have some travel buddies, someday when I have the time/money.. DH isn't super adventurous travel-wise. I'm boring though, Tina would be way more fun. Lol! I am fun but Im guessing you are, too. If not, I have a knack for getting people drunk and everyone is fun when they are drunk!lol

The only American accents I want to hear are southern ones. And yogiii, I'm trying to plan a trip to Europe for next year or the year after. My mom is all "I'm not leaving 'Murica" so who wants to cause an international incident with me? Well as motivation, one of my parents met the other accented parent while solo traveling in Europe

Jen, I was about to suggest looking up some companies that do all-women tours, because I know that type of thing exists, then I forgot the real purpose here! I'd say maybe there are some places that do singles tours and I bet there are, but that would imply you want to meet someone in the group, not in the country you visit. Hm..

I'm planning to use some of that "snowflake money" to learn bartending and do that part time. Hopefully that will put some extra coin in my pocket for adventures like this one.
Fuck that - I have an interest free CC (until 2017).... Europe or bust!!!!

Hey, I want to do this hot European guys tour for the single girls! I'm not that cool though. I start out ok, then I start showing pictures of my chicken's Halloween costumes and it goes downhill fast.

Wanna meet guys with Russian accents and travel to Europe on the cheap? Go to Bulgaria! Fly to either Sofia or Istanbul and then go to the beach in Varna, Bulgaria. Awesome sands, great hotels, within driving distance from Istanbul, Sofia, Burgas, Constanta(that's in Romania), all places loaded with history and architecture and crawling with people with Russian accents mainly because well, the Bulgarians are Slavs!
On top of everything, is cheap!

I should fly out to MN and hit you for that. Clearly you don't love me at all. Our amusement is MUCH more important than any one member <<Ducks>> Right! And who is amusing you more than me? Huh?

There are mail order Russian brides so maybe there are also mail order Russian grooms. Who said anything about a husband? Maybe there's a site for Russian boy toys.... Call any escort service and ask for Russian boy with good toy. Easy. But costly. So...what are you going to do? You can also find Russian groom but send him back after a while. Free and satisfying. Make sure to keep vodka in the house at all times though...

I'll hide MPL's chicken pictures when men are around. It sounds kinda crazy but I really think you girls would be a blast to hang out with! I started looking at what mroped was talking about and there are awesome things to see and do in both Sofia (capitol city I think?) and Varna (beach town). Accommodations aren't that expensive either, but I know the flights are going to be a killer.

Sounds to me like you ladies might need a chaperone - you know, someone to bail you out of jail, remain level headed, etc. So I hereby offer my services When do we leave?

Though Lufthanza airline has sometimes (around April) killer specials. We went to Germany for $300 round trip and I sent my friends to Paris for a week flight and hotel for $550. I was a while ago but I had searched a few years ago and they still having it. Go-today is another site that gives you mind-blowing prices. So bon voyage, MJ.

Round trip for coach is around $1600, but I don't want to be on a plane for all those hours in coach! Business class is like $3500 though. ?

My problem is that because of the split custody, I can only do an extended trip during the summer and I'd have to be back on a Wednesday. The Living Social/Groupon deals are restrictive regarding dates. After using Air BnB extensively, I'm thinking it would be a better deal to rent a flat or house with a group. Can you talk to your ex? He may want to take a trip sometime, too.

When X has DS I'll do some sort of vacation for me.
